DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The harness is generally favored by the pet owner over the collar fitteda pet's neck because it is easier to control the pet with the harnessand it is harder to remove the harness for the pet. The harness enablesthe pet owner to concurrently pull the neck and trunk of the pet bypulling on the leash connected to the harness.

Turning now to FIGS. 3, 5A-B and 10A-B, there is illustrated anon-choking harness 1000 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment ofthe claimed invention, which comprises a body part 1100 and a connectionpart 1200. The body part 1100 is shaped as a stylized letter K rotated90° with a center portion 1130 to cover substantially or entirely thechest area of the pet 200, two neck ends 1110 and two torso ends 1120.Preferably, the neck end 1110 is longer than the torso end 1120. The twoneck ends 1110 of the body part 1100 wrap around the neck of the pet200, as exemplary shown in FIG. 6. The two torso ends 1120 of the bodypart 1100 wrap around the torso of the pet 200, as exemplary shown inFIG. 6.

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the claimed invention, theharness 1000 is made of sturdy material having sufficient elasticity toprovide comfort and stretchability to enable the pet owners to keeptheir pets in control (especially for pets that tend to pull) while theharness 1000 maintains or retains its original form. That is, theelastic property of the material retains original form of the harness1000 even it is being pulled by the pet. In accordance with an aspect ofthe claimed invention, the harness 1000 is made of a mesh-like material1700 to provide for air-flow circulation to keep the pet 200 cool duringhot weather. For example, the mesh-like material 1700 can be made of100% polyester that is soft to the touch, lightweight, breathable andcomfortable. Preferably, the harness 1000 is constructed of multi-layersof material. As exemplary shown in FIG. 9, the harness 1000 isconstructed of three layers of material: an outer layer 1710, an innerlayer 1720, and an internal layer or internal soft sponge-like cushion1730 between the outer layer 1710 and inner layer 1720.
